eew, goto commands?
Why not doing something like


EDIT:
I hate goto commands, and so does everyone else. Im not sure why they do what they do, but its bad coding practice to use them. If you use them to much, you can wind up with dead ends, and thats no fun. I had to leave a project called snack attack because I used goto commands like a mad man, and they all stopped working. Always try to avoid them.


I wish I had access to board 17.

Really? i find the goto command pretty useful at times. Like, when my AI character dies, i delete the object, delete whatever info i have stored for that character, and use a goto command to skip to right before the next AI character is looped through. Its alot easier then putting in a bunch of "If AI character exists" kind of commands.

goto can leave you with what's called "spaghetti" code, which is really hard to handle and understand.

As for the actual snippet, product keys are the types of things that are best encrypted. Simply plugging the literal product key straight into the code is a bad idea. Once one person gets it, they can tell it to everyone else, and it won't be any different.

Yeah listen to Zotoaster. Instead of using GOTO use FUNCTIONs instead. It makes for cleaner code and works just like GOTO except you can return a variable or string.

i always use GoSub, because you don't need global variables then
